hmm, the "average user" i know is happy that the default forward and
back button are so nice light green which makes them better viewable....

....the "average user" i know, is happy to know that the little blue
globe starts the internet and that the little yellow button opens
his/her mailbox....

....and for your information, i didnt think of brlmedia as an "average
user" nor any other kind of user by your or my definition....i just
answered a question

i'd rather call it reasonless ranting and there is absolutely no reason
to shout here.....

unfortunately i have the feeling you neither read the question i was
answering nor did you understand my answer.

to sum up for you what i said in short words before: 
someone asked if its _safe_ to stick with the shipped firefox and i
answered that the shipped firefox is well tested against the
distribution and that support is guaranteed with the shipped version.
further i answered that you will notice two things in the new version: 
ui polish and a neat search dialog.

maybe my english is to bad as i'm just german....
... so i apologize if my writing was not understandable for native
english speaking people, otherwise i really dont understand your
excitement about this simple answer to a simple question.

ciao
